Do y'all have trouble with cluster trucking over there

Not to the same degree as your suggesting over with you.

When passing or being overtaken by them I always try to give lots of room. On one occasion I was just coming up on one, it was an early winter morning. The sun had just crested the horizon. You could see the puffs of vapor blowing out of the trailer sides from the cattle as they were breathing.

Suddenly one cut loose.

A powerful stream of cow pee came shooting out of the side of the trailer like a geyser. Then the color changed to yellowish brown. The animal was doing what it always does.

I was thankful that I had given the truck a wide berth.

I've only met double cattle and sheep road trains and on made roads, not dirt, but I often drive with the sun roof open. I've never been hit when one lets loose, but it's been close.

It's not a train, but it runs on rails. It travels in the streets, but it's not a bus. We should be getting some new trams soon, made by Bombardier. Looks like the state government did a deal to make them here

Nice shot!

I like the motion of the bus going by.

So sad that most of those are gone. The ones left are sentinels of an era gone by.
